The Associated Press confirms what we’ve been saying (almost exclusively) about the DOJ. They are supporting Muslims “zoning jihad” around the country.’ via Norwalk reverses stance on proposed mosque – Connecticut Post.
The applicants filed a federal lawsuit alleging religious discrimination and the U.S. Justice Department, which has intervened in mosque projects around the country, launched an inquiry into the handling of the proposal.
Now, the city is moving to settle the
lawsuit and support a version of the closely watched project. Norwalk
officials say religion was never part of their considerations.
“It was not based on any religious
bias,” Mayor Richard Moccia said. “I can’t recall any zoning officer or
any city official ever commenting that it happened to be a mosque and
that’s the reason they were opposing it.”
Moccia said the Justice Department wrote
about two months ago, seeking information such as minutes of a zoning
hearing on the project. He said the city responded and has not heard
back from federal officials.
The Justice Department declined to comment.
The Al Madany Islamic Center of Norwalk
sued in June after the Zoning Commission rejected the $3.5 million
project. On Nov. 29, the Zoning Commission voted to approve the mosque,
subject to an agreement depending on the terms of a final settlement.
It played out and didn’t pass the zoning laws. Then Muslims sued – a classic tactic of terror-linked CAIR. It was likely Hamas-linked CAIR that got the DOJ involved. Muslims and thugs like CAIR will celebrate but citizens of Norwalk can kiss their neighborhood goodbye.
